Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity
by David Allen
I found this book through a friend who always seemed so organized. When I mentioned it to him, he told me that this book was the secret to his success. As someone who is always looking for help in this area I promptly went to the library and checked it out, and immediately it got lost in the piles on my desk.
I received the renewal notice and remembered I had it somewhere and should find it if not read it. So after a bit of digging... It had been 3 weeks... I found it and flipped through it. I was immediately struck by the charts and lists. I wanted to read this book with a highlighter and turn down pages. I renewed the book and got out my pencil and stickies. After I read through it I realized that there were way to many stickies and pencil marks... I had to buy the book and work my way through it.
So I erased the pencil marks, and removed the stickies, returned the book and immediately bought it.
I have implemented this system step by step. I fall off the wagon, and have to get back on, but his system can accommodate that. Unlike other systems there is no shaming about who,you have been... Just acknowledgement and hope for the future.
I would have given it 5 stars, but this book is missing one crucial thing... The author doesn't come with it.
The real reason I gave it 4 stars is that this book is a system in it self as a stand-alone, but there are many other add-ons you can buy to keep you in the system. I keep wondering what I am missing by not buying the updates, or subscribing to his blog.
But as a bible for home to start this book is fabulous!!!
